One of the smartest young minds in the game today, it was Ryan Johansen's immense hockey sense, more than any other attribute, that compelled the Columbus Blue Jackets to select him with the 4th overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Like most young players Johansen struggled to find his way in the NHL in his first couple seasons, but broke out in a big way in the 2013-14 campaign, notching 33 goals and 63 points.

This season, despite a contract holdout that saw him miss the pre-season, Johansen looks to have picked up where he left off, tallying 11 points in just 8 games played to date. Though it might be unreasonable to expect him to maintain that blazing pace don't be surprised to see him finish at a point-a-game pace, and really establish himself as one of the dominant centers in the NHL for the next decade.
